EVOO and Health

1. Heart-healthy.

Oleic acid (monounsaturated fatty acid) is the first component of the olive oils. The replacement of saturated fat in your diet with unsaturated fats helps to improve the levels of harmful cholesterol in the blood, which in turn, reduces the risk of coronary heart disease.

2. Diabetes

EVOO consumption reduces up to 40 percent the risk for developing diabetes.

3. Old age and mental health.

Studies have shown that EVOO may also improve spatial memory and logical reasoning.

4. Breast cancer

Patients with breast cancer adding EVOO to their diet reduce the risk of developing more aggressive tumors.
